Many of you will immediately answer "no." But hold on for a sec -- this isn't just some question out of nowhere. On Wednesday, Pro Football Focus named Seahawks rookie quarterback Russell Wilson its choice for the best NFC West QB so far this season, putting him above San Francisco's Alex Smith, St. Louis' Sam Bradford, and Arizona's John Skelton and Kevin Kolb.
"Alex Smith looked set to have this position sewn up before his two horrible performances against the Giants and Seahawks made you realize the 49ers' offense is, instead, limited by him," PFF's Khaled Elsayed wrote. "Instead, Wilson has performed above expectations and finds himself looking like a top 10 quarterback."
ESPN.com's Mike Sando noticed PFF's choice and expanded on the idea. If you take each QB's total quarterback rating (a statistic that takes many factors into account), Wilson trails Smith for the entire season, scoring 53.0 to Smith's 70.7 QBR (out of a maximum of 100). But if you take just the past four games, Wilson has the NFC West's best QBR with 77.1. Smith scored 72.1 in Weeks 5 through 8, while Bradford scored 59.9, Kolb 25.3 and Skelton 11.9.
We thought we'd take a look at Wilson's performances in each of Seattle's eight games so far, and leave it up to you readers. Click through this gallery for an examination of Wilson's ratings so far this season. And you can vote in the poll below for the NFC West's best quarterback.</font></big>
